National Emission reduction Commitments Directive reporting status 2022

National Emission reduction Commitments Directive reporting status 2022

This briefing describes the progress made by the EU and its 27 Member States towards reducing emissions of the five main air pollutants regulated under the National Emission reduction Commitments Directive. It presents the first assessment of Member State performance against the emission reduction commitments for the period 2020-2029 and their progress towards achieving the more ambitious targets that will apply from 2030. This briefing is based on 2020 data, the latest year for which data have been reported to the EEA.
